I just found some usable templates but I cannot implement it. I'm gonna try to fix it.

extensive reading project

I'm planning to make my individual web project become a part of assignment or extra work that my students have to finish it before the next class begins. I don't think it's easy for both students and me to do more job during the class. It is also impossible to treat all the students equally in one class whose proficiency and reading ability is never the same.
So I will compose my webpage like "agora" where all the different reading sources exist in one place, where readers can express their opinion and thought freely, and where all of us can interact each other.

TETE

During the discussion from one of my class we talked about TETE and our team supported positive position. While I was trying to protect our position I found a research about TETE.

영어로 진행하는 영어수업에 대한 초등교사의 태도, 김성연(한양대학교)

The study includes lots of rational for TETE.

Although the students have lack of skills and knowledge about English itself, they have almost intrinsic ability to predict and guess the meaningso the more classes they have, the higher level of comprehension they achieveand finally it could be helpful for English learning.

(이완기, 2000)

This is one citation.

discussion topics for extra class

· Orthography
: writing system(letter, spelling)

· Phonemic knowledge
: not the phonetic knowledge(knowledge about individual sound), but how to pronounce in specific phonemic context(e.g., aspiration, assimilation, linking etc..)

· Language structure
: grammtical rules

· Cohesion
: grammatical, lexical, linguistic relation within the text
e.g.,) Mary bought a new pencil. She put it in her drawer
Mary - she
(coherence - semantic relation between the text)

01 PURPOSE

I already set up my blog last semester (fall, 2007) on blogger.com and rarely used it before. In this semester Prof. Kim required me to do something new on my blog. This plan is totally intended to make my dead-like blog become whole new self-access learning portal. Through this job few things are expected at the end.

▪ It may replace already existing my own link portal (link).
▪ It may be used to help me study English regularly.
▪ I may learn a lot of brand-new computing techniques.
▪ I can be familiar with blogging itself.



02 ORGANIZATIONS

I only selected a few categories from provided items. – Although I didn’t make my mind to use all of them, it’s true I am still impressed with all that complex and interesting functions of bloger.com. Since the purpose of this changing is based on actual use of it, I put the top priority on the link and feed. And then, I came to find a looking-good graphic banner and finally I could steal it from anonymous as the result of trying to find some fabulous widgets. This widget indicates the weather and counts the number of visitors.
In terms of contents (posts), there are not such a many explanations. I post an article semi-regularly for the sake of Prof. Kim these days, completing the assignments (two weekly journals by Prof. Kim).

Activation by Schema

First of all, I would say it's totally true that the schema activates my reading process. I'm going to take just one simple example, TOEIC. As I believe all the students in Korea should have seen how the TOEIC effects on whole society, I strongly think most of university students (and even high-school, middle-school too) have taken that test at least once or more. So, we all know the process of solving the questions of TOEIC and how to read it. However, the more familiar to the passages I become, the less attention I tend to give to them. For that reason, If any sort of little unfamiliar question shows up, I cannot avoid myself being embarrased. At that time, "schema" works amazingly.
First, I scan whole passage and try to find any clues for my guessing. Once I catch up anything, I judge what the passage is about. Then previous knowledge which was deep in my mind comes out. For example, If I see the word 'Fallingwater' and the name 'Le Corbusier', I can conclude it is about architecture. And I recall the books about architecture, miscellaneous information about architecture and architects, and even pictures of Le Corbusier. ;)
Eventually, I can complete my job rather easily, whatever questions are given.
(of course only when I have at least a little tiny information about the question.)
